Matthew 24

The temple’s fate

1 Now Jesus left the temple and was going away. His disciples came to point out to him the temple buildings. 2 He responded, “Do you see all these things? I assure that no stone will be left on another. Everything will be demolished.”
Beginning of troubles

3 Now while Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately and said, “Tell us, when will these things happen? What will be the sign of your coming and the end of the age?”
4 Jesus replied, “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 Many will come in my name, saying, ‘I’m the Christ.’ They will deceive many people. 6 You will hear about wars and reports of wars. Don’t be alarmed. These things must happen, but this isn’t the end yet. 7 Nations and kingdoms will fight against each other, and there will be famines and earthquakes in all sorts of places. 8 But all these things are just the beginning of the sufferings associated with the end. 9 They will arrest you, abuse you, and they will kill you. All nations will hate you on account of my name. 10 At that time many will fall away. They will betray each other and hate each other. 11 Many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12 Because disobedience will expand, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But the one who endures to the end will be delivered. 14 This gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the world as a testimony to all the nations. Then the end will come.

I think you're right Phil, the times are right. All we're waiting for is the rebuilding of the Temple in Jeruselum.

Well guys, no man (including Jesus) knows when it's gonna happen. Only the father. That being said, only an ill informed person or someone who doesn't care, can overlook all of these things that have been happening in the last year or two right up to this day, and I am afraid the situation here on Earth is going to get a lot worse before it gets better. Of coarse, this is just my humble opinion and in no way representitive of AAPK forum or any members other than myself.

Matthew 24

9 They will arrest you, abuse you, and they will kill you. All nations will hate you on account of my name.

10 At that time many will fall away.

Does anyone doubt that verse 9 will happen in our lifetime?
I don’t! I think we are already seeing the beginnings of it.

Just be sure you aren’t one that verse 10 is talking about.

I think he's saying to hang on tightly to your faith because the ride's gonna get real bumpy.

If he's not sayin it, I'll say it.

Amen Brother!
Probably far beyond bumpy as we understand it today!
